I like how the people in this bar are comfortable working and living 5 miles away from a vampire town, and how the vampires never leave Jerusalem’s Lot.

[@miapdx503]

Portland here. If you've ever traveled the back roads in Oregon...especially through the rain forest...especially at night, you'd know, *anything* is possible. 😐

[@faceface6443]

Portland is such a beautiful place

[@miapdx503]

@@faceface6443 it truly is. I feel blessed to live here. 🌹

[@davidvaughn7752]

Washington's worse! Some of these small logging towns up here harbor some deep dark secrets... don't forget a lot of the serial killers come from up here too (the ones you know about at least). And there's monsters all right. People just call it Bigfoot but that's nothing but a deflection, a catharsis to deal with what's really going on. Personally I think it's the lack of sunshine and all this rain. And the forests they're mighty dark and deep here... hundreds of miles of logging roads. I walk them all the time.

[@kurtweiand7086]

Considering the area, sasquatch could make an appearance!🥶😱

[@davidvaughn7752]

Well, I had an interesting story to tell about horror and and other serial killers here in the PNW, other than vampires, but the _Karen_ of this channel decided to delete it for some reason.

[@tripleb221]

This has always been one of my favorite Stephen King short stories. Not exactly like the written version but still creepy and well done.

[@mnirwin5112]

Yes. This AND the novel Salem's Lot.

[@victorvictor1133]

I like that this short film is a mini-continuation of Stephen King's, "Salem's Lot" book/film. Terrific follow-up!!

[@stevebrisendine6143]

It's based on "One for the Road," a story from "Night Shift" that's exactly that, a coda to "Salem's Lot."

[@melancolielupine2023]

Not bad. This short novel by King still haunts me decades after reading it. It's truly one of the best short horror stories of all times imo. The slight characters changes aren't annoying but it lacks in pure dread and cold despair as in the story!

[@jasonlewis3146]

That was freaking awesome. Love it and Stephen King is my all time favorite writer. Thanks for sharing this. You are awesome Sunshine.

[@bwy553]

Terrible acting. And when is this supposed to take place? Our time or ten years after the events in Salems lot? Because she says ten years ago that people went missing. But they’re talking about Google, and not being able to smoke in bars as if it’s today. So are you moving the timeline up? Because she mentioned the bar starting up in 1971 which would’ve been around the appropriate time for the books, but then she says 10 years ago people started disappearing. If you still mean for this to take place in the same universe as the books, or if you mean it to be historical accurate according to the books, then the book Salems lot being 10 years before this would make it 1985, still way before Google and woke bar policies.

[@davidvaughn7752]

​@@bwy553My thoughts exactly! Too many self-serving hacks too lazy to do decent research of the genre, who's monstrous egos are fueled by friends and family and gaggles of sycophants (usually the actors you see in the movie) at their so-called "premiere"!

[@coloradotrish7297]

Amazing!! Thank you for posting!! Stephen King is like the most popular author in the U.S. I will say his Salem's Lot movie has one of the scariest scenes of all time when the Glick kids are floating outside the window asking for entry. Never invite them in!! I don't even like to think about that scene and I'm almost 60! Best, from Colorado!

[@CitizenofAuckland]

Haha yup, and Gilda from pet cemetery

[@SwedeProof]

100% AGREE! This FAB King short screams "full-length" using the same actors. They were terrific!!!

[@pennydezsi6073]

Same hear im 50 now and he has been my favorite writers for most of my life Starting with Silver bullet

[@samanthacrump1976]

Silver Bullet was me and my family’s favorite scary movie growing up. I didn’t know until a few years ago that it was by Steven King. The part when Marty is lighting fireworks scares the hell out of me.

[@JeremyPickett]

Yay, native Oregonian here! My dad was from Klamath falls, I'm from Springfield/Eugene, and lived in Portland many times :)

Hello Sunshine. I would like to say that this is a wonderful adaptation of Stephen Kings short story sequel to Salem's Lot. I love the acting and the drama in this short film. It is so brilliant. Please keep this video on KZbin Sunshine. This is a real treasure and God Bless you for sharing it

[@timbrown4853]

This was so professionally done that it was utterly amazing. This should be expanded to a full-length movie.

[@hotlittlezombiekiller2729]

It’s already a movie. It’s called “Salems lot”. It was made in 1975 and the a sequel in 1987. I heard they may be coming out with a remake this year.

[@lucretiamaggio6154]

@@hotlittlezombiekiller2729 this is an adjacent story to salems lot. It is in the book “Night Shift” if I remember correctly. The prequel is called Jerusalem’s Lot.

Brilliant short film, simple and effective acting and script. Stephen King's stories don't always translate well on screen, but this one goes a long way.

This is one of MY FAVORITE short stories of Stephen King….. creeps me tf out every time I read it… this one, The Boogeyman and 1408 all had me sleeping with the lights on….. good adaptation !

[@ozgott1415]

Great job! One of my favorite short stories and you did it well!

[@konstantinoskaragiannis1596]

This is a good enough short horror film based from the short horror story "One for the Road"(1977) by Stephen King!"Salem's Lot" is the best and most scariest Vampire horror Novel of all time for sure!

[@Gizmos457]

I gotta see Steven king's Salem's lot again. Watching now,big fan to 🙂

[@timbrown4853]

Great job...one of the best I have seen in a long time. You should expand this to a full-length movie it is that good.

[@TheGodParticle]

I agree, especially the jail scene. Rip David soul

[@carlyreich469]

Outstanding!! You just got yourself another subscriber!!Please give us more King adaptations!!

[@michelegraham1181]

Nice work! This has always been my favorite short story by Stephen King. It's too bad you couldn't do the snowstorm, since it adds so much to the direness of the situation and makes it difficult for the characters to see what's going on. But I totally understand. That would have been impossible to shoot. But you all did fantastic! I really liked the lead. Good choice!

[@PungiFungi]

It would've been very eerie to see the red eyes of the vampires flitting by the windows as in the short story.

[@spex76]

This is the best adaptation of One for the Road I've seen so far. Salem's Lot is my favourite ever novel and I'm really looking forward to the new movie (if it's ever released). Only nitpick was changing the setting to Oregon, and the lack of blizzard (but that's understandable) Great short film.

[@jasonbatteiger2421]

they're talking about portland maine, unless i missed something the story's geographical area is the same as the story.

[@spex76]

@@jasonbatteiger2421 When they're talking in the bar about Salem's Lot, Booth mentions that the town is named after an old town in Maine. There's a couple of other clues, but I'd have to rewatch to be sure.

[@spex76]

@@jasonbatteiger2421 Booth says that the founder of the Lot came out there from Maine in 1863, and named it after some town in Maine.

[@jasonbatteiger2421]

@@spex76 this is true, but where did you get the idea it's in oregon?

portland (maine for sure) is mentioned in the story, it's the expected place rich folks dumb enough to buy land in the lot often come from, also those ignorant enough to even take the highway exit near the lot.

[@biosh4x]

As a kid Salem's Lot messed me up, so I absolutely loved this one. And if I'm not mistaken that was Bella Lagosi's Dead playing in the background.

The jail scene left me physically shaking, I was only 9 years old when I watched it.

So nice to see such a good film from Stephen about the better Portland area.

[@traceydaizy]

I liked that. It wasn't quite like the Stephen King story but it was a really good interpretation, it still had that Stephen King feeling about it.

[@cathy5072]

Awesome!

[@danapidd6013]

Bloody good movie. Just wish it was longer....👍

[@Timbolic]

The original Salem's Lot was scary as hell when I saw it as a little kid but the book, I read that in high school and I swear I was looking down hallways and checking the end of the lockers for a time after I read it. Nothing like his writing but King knows how to bring the fear.

[@rlh125]

This was fun. The only thing that isn’t consistent with “Salem’s Lot” (other than the location change, which I don’t understand…) is how quickly a person becomes a vampire. SL says it takes a few days, but this has people changing almost immediately (or so it seemed to me). It’s been so long since I read “One For The Road” that I can’t remember if that is what happened in that short story. Whatever the case, I enjoyed this. 🙂👍
